One of thousands of emergency municipal notes — known as "vals" or "moneda local" — issued by Catalan town councils during the Spanish Civil War after the Republic's coinage supply collapsed almost entirely in 1936. Pineda, a small coastal municipality north of Barcelona, turned to local printer V. Pedemonte in the nearby town of Calella, a practical arrangement typical of how these small councils scrambled for workable solutions under wartime conditions.
Turró catalogued over two thousand distinct municipal issues from Catalonia alone, which gives some sense of the administrative fragmentation. The Pineda issue is not among the rarer ones, but survivorship is uneven across the series.
